As the BJP celebrates its victory in Maharashtra, voters have spoken loud and clear about what drove the win.
Was it the party’s focus on Hindutva, or the emphasis on development (Vikas)?
With the outcome favouring the BJP, the question now remains: who will take the reins as Chief Minister – Eknath Shinde, the current leader, or Devendra Fadnavis, the former CM with a significant political presence?

As Maharashtra's political landscape shifts, the future of its leadership hangs in the balance.
